SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- August 28, 2026 -- iScreen, a mobile customization app used by more than 100 million people, launched an interactive digital pet feature for iPhone Home Screens on August 28, 2026. The Los Angeles-based company built the update around Nimori, an original animated character that users can place alongside new widgets and stickers. The release lets iPhone owners turn a static grid of app icons into a screen with a character that reacts and moves.

Nimori Turns A Static Home Screen Into A Moving Character

Nimori is not a wallpaper or an app icon. It is built as an interactive figure that sits on the Home Screen and responds within the layout users create, giving the screen a sense of motion instead of a fixed image. Users can pair Nimori with themed widgets and stickers to build a layout around the character rather than around a single wallpaper.
